Hedging monthly RSU vests from day job.

Hi. I currently work at a publicly traded company which works in AI. This stock has done well and is volatile. I would like some level of consistency in income going into 2026 given some prevailing bearish singles (the ai bubble popping).

I have around 320k in unvested stock which vests over a period of 4 years. The stock is granted to me monthly and the grants are treated as regular income on my W2 and taxed accordingly.

I am interested in using options or other kinds of derivatives to hedge against the volatility of my monthly income. So far I have the vague idea of using some kind of ladder of monthly puts as insurance on any large price drops.

I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this sort of thing or to source ideas on it. I've looked at strategies like the following but am interested in other approaches as well. Perhaps other timelines rather than monthly. Maybe LEAPS? Although a temporary price drop can recover which can cause the LEAP to not increase in value due to the long time to expiration. Open to ideas. https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/investment-products/options/options-strategy-guide/1×2-ratio-volatility-spread-puts

EDIT: I'm not able to purchase options against my company stock directly so I'm looking into things like puts on QQQ, TQQQ, or VGT.
